Product Description

Raltegravir potassium (formerly also known as MK-0518 potassium; trade name: Isentress) is a novel, potent integrase (IN) inhibitor for WT and S217Q PFV IN with IC50 of 90 nM and 40 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. Raltegravir is an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV infection. Raltegravir binds to and inhibits integrase, an HIV enzyme that inserts viral genetic material into the genetic material of the infected human cell. Inhibition of integrase prevents insertion of HIV DNA into the human DNA genome, thus blocking HIV replication. It is the first integrase inhibitors that received FDA approval for HIV treatment.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
PFV IN with the S217H alteration has an IC50 of 900 nM, making it ten times less sensitive to raltegravir. PFV IN exhibited 10% of WT's activity and was inhibited by Raltegravir at an IC50 of 200 nM, suggesting that PFV IN is less sensitive to IN strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) than WT IN is. Similar to the WT enzyme, S217Q PFV IN is also susceptible to raltegravir [1]. Glucuronidation, not the liver, is the mechanism of raltegravir metabolism. With a 95% inhibitory concentration of 31±20 nM in human T cell cultures, raltegravir demonstrates strong anti-HIV-1 action in vitro. Raltegravir exhibited anti-HIV-2 activity in CEMx174 cells as well, with an IC95 of 6 nM. Glucuronidation is the main mechanism of raltegravir metabolism. Strong glucuronidase UGT1A1 inducers should not be utilized since they drastically lower raltegravir concentrations. Hepatic cytochrome P450 activity is only slightly inhibited by raltegravir. Neither CYP3A4-dependent testosterone 6-beta-hydroxylase activity nor CYP3A4 RNA expression are induced by raltegravir [2]. Magnesium and calcium have been shown to decrease raltegravir's cellular permeability [3]. Effectively preventing viral replication is possible with raltegravir and related HIV-1 integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) [4]. Latisavue successfully suppressed SIVmac251 replication in the acutely infected human lymphoid CD4+ T cell lines MT-4 and CEMx174, suggesting an EC90 in the low nanomolar range [5].
ln Vivo
Rateltelevir improves the viro-immunological status of nonhuman primates infected with SIVmac251 as it progresses. Raltegravir monotherapy results in an undetectable viral load in one non-human primate[5].

Raltegravir Potassium is the orally bioavailable potassium salt of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (HIV-1 INSTI) with HIV-1 antiviral activity. Raltegravir binds to and inhibits integrase, an HIV enzyme that inserts viral genetic material into the genetic material of the infected human cell. Inhibition of integrase prevents insertion of HIV DNA into the human DNA genome, thus blocking HIV replication.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
